The disclosure of the prior applications is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.

The present invention relates to a method for preparing a polyorganosiloxane, specifically a polyorganosiloxane having one or more hydrosilyl groups, i.e., SiH group and, one or more alkoxysilyl groups, i.e., SiOR group, in a molecule by subjecting one or more organic silicon compounds having a silanol group, i.e., —SiOH, and/or an alkoxysilyl group, i.e., —SiOR, to a condensation reaction with each other. Further, the present invention relates to a polyorganosiloxane thus obtained.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Recently, polyorganosiloxanes are attracting attention as a material having good light permeability, good heat resistance, low gas permeability and good chemical stability. Polyorganosiloxanes having various properties are produced by changing types of siloxane monomers, their ratio and reaction conditions in the production process and, accordingly, have been put to practical use in the various fields.

It is known that a polyoraganosiloxane having one or more alkoxysilyl groups and one or more hydrosilyl groups in the molecule has various applications and is very useful as an adhesion improving agent for a silicone elastomer adhesive composition, as described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. H05-194930, an adhesive component in a primer, as described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. H11-100550, and an intermediate of a polyorganosiloxane modified with various organic groups, as described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. H10-106511, as the hydrosilyl group may undergo a hydrosilation and the alkoxyl group may undergo a hydrolytic condensation reaction.

Polyorganosiloxanes are generally prepared by a hydrolysis and condensation reaction of chlorosilane and/or an alkoxysilane in contact with a stoichiometric amount of water in an organic solvent and in the presence of an acid or base catalyst. However, in a case where the polyorganosiloxane having a hydrosilyl group is prepared in this method, the hydrosilyl group is also hydrolyzed. Therefore, this method is not suitable.

Examples of the other general methods for preparing a polyorganosiloxane include a method where an organic silicon compound having a silanol group, i.e., —SiOH, condensation reacts with each other; a method where an organic silicon compound having a silanol group, i.e., —SiOH, condensation reacts with an organic silicon compound having an alkoxysilyl group, i.e., —SiOR; and a method where an organic silicon compound having an alkoxysilyl group, i.e., —SiOR, condensation reacts with each other, wherein R represents an alkyl group or an alkoxyalkyl group. In the aforesaid condensation reactions, an amount of a silanol group remaining in the polyorganosiloxane obtained is small. However, these methods need chemically intense catalysts to cause condensation reaction, such as, for instance, strong acids such as sulfuric acid and hydrochloric acid; strong bases such as sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide and tetramethylammonium hydroxide; and Lewis acids. If the aforesaid catalysts are used, a siloxane bond (Si—O—Si) is cut to cause rearrangement during the reaction and, therefore, the polyorganosiloxane obtained has random structures. Further, this method causes hydrolysis of the hydrosilyl group. Further, it is difficult to control the amount of an alkoxysilyl group in the polyorganosiloxane to leave some alkoxysilyl groups in the polyorganosiloxane.

Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. H02-235933, Patent Literature 4, describes that a silanol-containing siloxanes is condensated in the presence of sodium or potassium borate or phosphate as a catalyst to prepare an organosilicone condensate. Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. H03-197486, Patent Literature 5, describes that a silanol-containing siloxane is condensated in the presence of a catalyst selected from the group consisting of hydroxides, chlorides, oxides and basic metal salts of an alkali metal or an alkaline earth metal to prepare a polyorganosiloxane. Japanese National Phase Publication No. 2006-508216, Patent Literature 6, describes that even hydroxides of magnesium or calcium can work as a catalyst in condition of the presence of a protonic solvent to promote a condensation reaction between a silanol-containing siloxane and an alkoxysilane. Japanese National Phase Publication No. 2010-506982, Patent Literature 7, describes that a silicon-containing compound having a silanol group and/or an alkoxysilyl group reacts in the presence of a catalyst selected from the group consisting of strontium oxide, barium oxide, strontium hydroxide, barium hydroxide and a mixture thereof to prepare an organosilicone condensate.

In the methods described in the afore-mentioned Patent Literatures 4 to 7, rearrangement of the polyorganosiloxane chain is minimized and, thus, a polyorganosiloxane having a controlled structure is obtained. Further, these methods have an advantage that the catalyst is easily separated from the obtained polyorganosiloxane by filtration because these catalysts are solid. These advantages are favorable particularly in fields where accurate control on materials is required and any remaining impurity is untolerable, for instance, the fields of optical materials, electronic materials and medical materials.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

As described above, a polyorganosiloxane has useful properties and is used in the various fields. However, in the field of encapsulation of semiconductor devices and sealing, the adhesiveness is low, so that peeling from a subject material occurs often. In order to solve this problem, a hydrogenpolyorganosiloxanes having various substituent groups and reactivities are researched and developed. As stated above, the hydrosilyl group is hydrolyzed to dehydrogenate in the presence of the catalyst such as a strong alkali and, therefore, the synthesis method of the polyorganosiloxane having a hydrosilyl group is limited and a desired polyorganosiloxane has been not obtained yet.

One object of the present invention is to prepare a desired hydrogenpolyoraganosiloxane having an alkoxysilyl group and a hydrosilyl group in the molecule by condensation reacting one or more organic silicon compounds having a silanol group, i.e., —SiOH, and/or an alkoxysilyl group, i.e., —SiOR, with each other.

To solve the aforesaid problems, the present inventors have made research and found that one or more organic silicon compounds having a silanol group, i.e., —SiOH, and/or an alkoxysilyl group, i.e., —SiOX, condensation reacts with each other in the presence of the specific catalyst to effectively give a desired hydrogenpolyorganosiloxane without dehydrogenating a hydrosilyl group during the reaction.

Thus, the present invention is a method for preparing a polyorganosiloxane represented by the following general formula (1):

An amount of the solvent is not limited to particular one. Generally, the amount is such that a concentration of the organic silicon compounds to be subjected to the condensation reaction is 5 to 95 mass %, preferably 20 to 80 mass %. The condensation reaction in the present invention may also be conducted without any solvent.

In the present condensation reaction, any other components may also be added as long as such does not obstruct the progress of the condensation reaction. For instance, a neutral surfactant may be added so as to improve dispersion of a solid catalyst. When the group represented by R¹ in the formulas is reactive, a reaction inhibitor may be added. The afore-mentioned components may be used alone or in combination of two or more of them. Further, an amount of the component may be decided properly so that the effects of the present invention are not obstructed.
